A method and apparatus for securing a kayak or similar shaped elongated object. The apparatus includes a pair of hoops each having a diameter large enough to slip over an end of the kayak but not large enough to slip over the entire body thereof. A cable is secured at one end to each of the hoops, the combined length of the cables being shorter than the length of the kayak. A padlock secures the other end of each cable together. A third cable in one embodiment is looped about one of the hoops and a stationary body and has its ends locked together, and in another embodiment one end of the third cable is secured to one of the hoops and locked by the same padlock to the free ends of the first mentioned cables.
